Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 141

"Really?"

Starry smiled but didn't go on with the conversation.

Wyatt said no more. When the two finished the tea, Starry yawned.

She didn't sleep well last night, so she felt a little drowsy.

Wyatt raised his eyebrow. "You're sleepy?"

"The weather make me wanna sleep."

It had been drizzling all day long, perfect weather for napping.

It rained a little heavier than before, the rain drops lashing on the air-conditioner outside the balcony.

Wyatt checked the time. "Get some sleep and remember to come over for dinner."

Starry shook her head. "I'm fine."

She had got trouble sleeping recently, so if she had taken some sleep at that time of day, it would have definitely been a sleepless night again.

But it kept raining outside, and there was nothing to do to kill time at that old house.

Starry stared at the rain outside the balcony for quite a while until she looked back at Wyatt and asked, "Do you want to go to the Fairy Lake?"

The famous Fairy Lake was located in the west suburb, which drew a lot of visitors during summer or winter holidays. It didn't have many people there during rainy seasons, but it had the greatest view when it rained. She had been there when she was little.

"If I said no, would you go there alone?"

Starry propped herself up on the sofa. "When I was a first-grader in elementary school, my father took me there for fishing. It was in March or April. It rained a lot. When it rained, there was mist wafting above the lake. When you looked from a distance, the whole lake was rippling, striking."

The lake hadn't been as famous back then, but after that, Starry had never been there again.

At first it was because her father didn't have the time and then he didn't have any time at all.

"It sounds great. Let's go."

He also got up. "Let me grab a coat."

"I have to change too."

It was not a good idea to go out in a dress during a rain.

Starry put on a pair of long jeans. She hadn't brought many clothes with her. All of them were newly bought. It was the first time she had taken on the jeans since she had got it half a month before because of the injuries in her legs.

The jeans felt a little tight, which might be because she hadn't worked out much since the injuries.

It was kind of embarrassing.

When Starry was thinking if she should change another pair of pants, Wyatt was knocking.

She signed and thought she might as well just wear them anyway and they would feel less tight.

"Have you ever been there before?"

Wyatt said after her, "No."

He had used to come to the city with his mother, when they would stay for only a couple of days and left, so he had never got to travel around the city.

And then when he had grown older, he would come during summer holiday, when he would go visit some botanical garden with his grandpa in the town.

Starry had just taken off the splint, so she couldn't walk too fast in case she would fall down, which could cripple her forever.

She said no more and concentrated on walking down the stairs.

When they reached the first floor, Starry tried to escape from the rain drops that sparkled, and bumped into Wyatt, who had just got behind her.

Wyatt held her shoulder with one hand and opened his umbrella with the other. "Let's go. My car is in the yard,"

Starry took a look at the shoulder he had held, feeling the lingering warmth of the man.

"Thank you for that."

"Why are you suddenly so polite to me again?"

He tilted his head at her, raising his eyebrow.

Starry smiled. "I'm just used to it."

Wyatt said nothing and held the umbrella. The two walked slowly to the car.

There weren't as many cars on the road with the rain.

They set off at four and it was half an hour later when they reached the lake.
